- Posted: 2002-10-17, evaluated by the judges
Purty. kLuTz aka Greg Pak gave us a FF4 piano ReMix back in April, and several months later has this delicate FF7 submission, also solo piano, to contribute. Very ornamental and flowing playing with lots of forward direction - sort of like the soundtrack from The Piano if it had been a bit happier and . . . from Final Fantasy :) I like the variations on the theme and the added complexity of the last iteration especially - the whole arrangement is well thought out and holds one's interest, and the sound quality is great too. Recommended, highly if you dig great solo piano arrangements.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the wow, i first heard this back in 03 or 04, and i have to say i still
enjoy it, but i'm probably being bias cause of nostalgia and the
fact that its from ff7, this is pretty good quality for somthing
made back in 02. also good arrangement, very enjoyable 9 out of 10

It is a great piece of piano. I love the flow and feel of the music
as it takes you away into a new world. Very awesome piece of music.

This was one of my first OCR remixes I ever heard.
Usually piano remixes tend to be boring but this one... it just isn't boring. It's very relaxing to listen.
It always reminds about the moment I stepped outside Midgar for the first time and realized that the world of FF7 is going to be BIG.
8/10.

Okay, first of all, the fact that this piece was improvised already
blows me away. How do you do it? Well, I can sum up what I think it
is in one word: creativity. This mix is perfect for the car
especially after school when I'm tired and I just wanna relax to
something that of course, doesn't put me asleep at the same time,
lol! Anybody, even if you haven't played FFVII, should just
download this and immerse yourself into a nice warm piano bubble
bath, lol!

An excellent pianoremix from the kLuTz.:D
I wish that I could say more, but I have no words left.
Well done, kLuTz.

Thanks guys!! All comments welcome indeed!!
Time flies hahaha!!!!
Anyhow, for those that asked for sheet music, I'm sorry to say that I never made any, since this piece was improvised. However, if you go to http://klutz.vgmidi.com/music.php you can find the midi, and open it with a midi editor. There are a few songs there, though that you can find that other people have transcribed for me. Or you can also ask in the Sheet Music section at the site to see if anyone's transcribed it. Thanks!

I tend to agree. Although it shows quite a bit of skill on the
piano(I know I couldn't duplicate it), and everything is
technically perfect...that's the biggest problem, as well. really,
not very emotive at all. In music, I don't think perfection means a
hill of beans. I've heard a lot of songs with less-than-perfect
notes, chords, phrasing, whathaveyou, but the feel behind it is so
compelling, i just sit there for hours listening to it. It's a
perfect piece...but, it's a perfect piece. That explains it
perfectly.

How more generic could a song get? This is a [i]very[/i] stale mix.
There doesn't seem to be any emotion, and it doesn't go anywhere we
haven't gone before through kLuTz's other mixes. I would go more
in-depth, but why should I when Disco Dan already said it best
himself nearly two and a half years ago when he was judging the
mix?

Disco Dan wrote: Wow this sounds exactly like the town life in piano mix we just had... arpeggiated accompaniament... simple chord progression, very little variety. But flawless execution and nice dynamics. I feel like I've said this before....
And there's something fishy about the flawless performance... I can't put my finger on it. It's definitely a synth, which is fine, but there's something artificial about the playing, and I think it's the breaks, and the jumps, which the more I think about, sound really ... doctored, or impossible. I could be way off here, but anyway...
Ok, I hate to be the pessimist or the cynic or whatever I am, but I really don't feel this has much to offer, besides being piano based. The playing really isn't THAT impressive, but I may be a bit biased being at a music school with a focus on composition and piano performance, and being constantly blown away by the other students who seem to actually like playing the piano, and then by the jazz pianists whose ability to improvise and vary seems unending. But all in all, I feel the piano work here is very cliché and sounds like something I'd do just messing around on the keys, only to close the piano lid, say "blah," and walk away as my dad says "that was nice, Daniel, what was that?" because they're much more easily impressed...
But anyway, I don't feel this is spectacular, and the part I guess that bugs me the most about it is the similarity to the arrangement that was just submitted by this guy just a week or so ago, just in arrangement style and technique. Kind of bored me. Spice it up, buddy. Kick it up a notch. BAM!
Anyway, that's my reasoning, and I'm stickin' to it.

kLuTz's works always knock me on my butt... they are so different
from the original themes, and yet so reminiscent (sp.? on this word
for the second time today?)... And I definitely love the kLuTzEy
variations (sorry for lack of a better trademark term)... I rank
this up there with Chopin's "Revolutionary" - known as Kakumei to
DDRMax2 players.
BTW... I know most pianists have their own variation techniques, but yours sounds close to Mozart... is it modeled after his variation technique?
